Europe

In the northern hemisphere, only two hours by plane from Iceland, there’s a country where time seems to stand still. In Greenland everything is quite: no noise from engines or horns, no crowds in overpopulated streets. When you travel to Greenland you’ll find that everything seem to be frozen. Once summer comes, the climate offers days of endless sunshine. You might lose your bearings: you’ll be struck by the contrast of enormous glaciers alongside small fishermen’s houses. The perfect whiteness, shimmering and glacial, could hurt the eyes because of its dazzling glare. Far off you might hear some barking: it’s the huskies setting off for a new journey. Greenland is definitely a country of extraordinary nature, a country where the glacial climate warms the heart of its inhabitants. A country, quite simply, to discover.

Qeqertarsuaq is the largest island in Greenland - in Kalaallisut, Qeqertarsuaq means « big island ». The town (750 inhabitants) is surrounded by basaltic mountains on one side and icebergs on the other. I was very impressed when I arrived by boat from Ilulissat: the town looks tiny when seen at the foot of the mountains.
You must hike along the marked trails to explore the mountains and the valleys, but also the black-sand beaches. From the top of the Lyngmark mountain, the view of the Disko Bay is breathtaking. You can also arrange excursions by boat for bird watching. Don't forget your binoculars. If you have time, visit the small historical folk museum of Qeqertarsuaq. I found it interesting.
